Inside IP Mini-Podcast Series Episode 4: If the shoe fits…copyright protection for designs in Germany and the UK

In the next episode of our podcast series, join Richard Dissmann (Partner, Munich) and William Wortley (Associate, London/Munich) as they discuss one of the most contentious copyright questions of recent years: what copyright protection should be given to works of applied art? Richard provides an overview of the legal landscape following a series of decisions from the CJEU in recent years, and he and William compare the German and British approaches following the recent Birkenstock and Waterrower decisions.
